a) If no surround speakers are used (if "None" is set for both A and B):
The Crossover Frequency screen appears.
b) If both surround speakers A and B are used (if either "Large" or "Small" is set for both
A and B):
The surround speaker setting screen appears.
c) When "Front" is set to "Large" and "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes", the set switches to
the subwoofer mode.
d) If "None" is set for surround speakers A:
"None" is automatically set for surround speakers B and surround back speaker.
NOTE:
• Select "Large" or "Small" not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker's
capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode and
below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level
low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

Setting the Crossover Frequency
• Set the crossover frequency and subwoofer mode according to the speaker system being used.
1
Large....................Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz.
Small....................Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with
sufficient volume.
When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the
subwoofer.
None...................Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No.................Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs/1spkr ........Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.
If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when
"Small" is set for the front, center and surround speakers.
To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX certified speaker systems, set the front, center
and surround speaker size parameters to "Small" and the subwoofer to "Yes".
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and
Subwoofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.
When "Front" is set to "Small", "Subwoofer" is automatically set to "Yes", and when "Subwoofer" is set
to "No", "Front" is automatically set to "Large".
When either "Large" or "Small" has been set for both
speakers A and B on the System Setup Menu (when using
both A and B surround speakers), the surround speaker
setting screen appears.
Select the surround speakers to be used in the different
surround modes.
